Popular Post KDB Posted March 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 We will all be fine tomorrow when they call our name as a 4 seed. We didn't play our best game. Penn State is good. Won 8 of their last 9. Tamar is finally regaining some confidence, we have a First Team All-American, and the Big Ten Freshman of the year. Get focused and go win some games in the tournament that matters. A 4 seed after starting 10-6 and losing our senior PG. I ain't mad at it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Damn you Anthony and Logan!" 🤦♂️ You say that but the truth of the matter is… We desperately need bench pieces. These two have are buried on the bench and probably won’t even provide next year. I like Leal as a person but it’s kinda needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to shoot th ball into the basket. If you shoot the ball from beyond the arc and mak it, they will even give you another point! We lead the league in shooting percentage and scoring so if you are going to come on here to complain at least he correct. We also hit around 38% from 3. It is so nice to see you on here after a loss because we missed you for most of the last couple of months 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but if you can’t get any playing time on scholarship this season they should probably not be with the program. I hate to say it but Duccomb and Leal probably should go for better improvements. Go ahead and bash me but it’s the reality that needs to happen. It is not about replacing the 12th and 13tj spots on the roster 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Turtle Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Some guys on twitter are talking about how Mike Woodson is using old NBA concepts that don't translate to today's game. Other coaches are using more modern concepts and talking to modern coaches instead of talking to guys like Wittman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not directing this at you, Scott. It's not the percentage that is a problem, it's the volume. We hit 38% of 10 threes while teams like PSU and Iowa hit 33% of 24 3s. That doubles them up on points off the three. We need to shoot more and find ways to get more open looks from 3. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between2Halls Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I’m aggravated. I don’t necessarily like conference tournaments, but seriously I would love to win one of them. I genuinely thought we had a shot at doing that this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Blown opportunity. Let psu control pace and dictate the game. Didnt quit but too little too late. Where was that effort most of the game? Now it's down to win or go home. That's all there is to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully one of the selection members, not Reynolds, said lines 1-8 were basically already seeded. If that's true, this shouldn't affect us in that regard. You said it. Once again we got smashed from the three point line …. -18. Will lose every single game in college basketball when you can’t make some threes. I’m not sure MK knows his role bc we can’t have him passing up open three after open three like he did today. I’m disappointed but not surprised. Just hope we get a favorable draw and miraculously put together some consistent games. But I’m not holding my breath. I truly hope Woody addresses this for next year. No excuses. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-BONE Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 What I see in our two losses to PSU is they are so much better offensively. They’re balanced with multiple consistent options, several adept from deep. We have only two guys you can count on game to game and neither is a threat from3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Glad I stayed away from the game thread, and this one seems to be headed down the same hole. The negative turn here is really disappointing. We got beat today by a group of old, experienced players. IMO, turning points of the game were both problems stemming from our inexperienced guys. Trace doubles to help inside, shot missed, MR doesn’t block out and their big has a dunk put back. Next defensive possession MR overplays on Lundy and gives up an and 1. Finally, we tie it and come down and JHS turns it over leading to a Funk 3 and away they go. Their experienced guys made experienced plays. Our young guys made young guy mistakes. Hopefully, they can learn from them as we will need better play from them in the tournament that matters. Proud of the fight we exhibited. Like @Indykevsaid, I wondered why we didn’t press more/earlier. With them playing 3 games in 3 days, I think we could have worn them out. Very pleased with Bates, and think he has surpassed TG. Kopp has to get out of his own head and be ready to shoot when he’s open. We will have the advantage of playing v teams who have never faced a TJD. This talk of not making it out of the 1st round is laughable. Some folks need to get a grip. Only one team was going to win this tournament, and frankly having an extra day’s rest isn’t a bad thing 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the number of 3's taken... we could double our attempts in that regard, and it still wouldn't be leading the league. Woody has definitely made an impact, but he's limited on what he can do with the perimeter players on this team... Hopefully he kills it in the portal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I just feel like a CJ would have been a perfect 12th/13th guy this year. He has projection. Leal I hate to say it only comes in with walk ons. Like I said I love him. But… I would welcome any talent that could carve a role in the 12/13 spot. Not trying to start an argument just saying after watching this season we need all the talent we can get.

kyhoosier29 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Just now, Proud2BAHoosier said: I wonder if Kopp has lost his confidence.... Doesn’t make sense to me. If that’s the case, then he’s not the guy we wanted on this team. We need the fearless guy that knows he’s going to make the next one. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t want the guy that doesn’t make many thinking this, but we need a cold blooded killer that can shoot. We don’t have that.
